I'm really interested in what you remember, how you remember, what your perspective is as opposed to somebody else's.

Looking out a window from different vantage points changes what you see and therefore what you write.

Language is as fragile as the little alpine plant.

I try to attach myself to things around me so that they don't slip away.

I can't move my body slowly. I can't move the line slowly. So I end up with way too much, often opaque to me later.

I know that in some ways I operate from a kind of antiquated interest in imagery, while many contemporary poets are not so interested in imagery. I think part of it is my training, and just my visual sense of things.

Often poets fall into groups that exclude others, and don't pay attention to those who write in different ways. It seems so limited to me.
